FYI loves Ethan isn't meant to be viewed as bad. He just was meant to cause some unnecessary stress and drama for Auslly. For the record, Ethan does truly love Ally which is why he came back, he also realized that it was too little too late for them.The whole point of Ethan was to not live your life with any what if's. Also, to see if he could get in the way of Auslly forever. Even his insanely strong connection he had with Ally wasn't enough for her to leave Austin. Ethan failed! ;-)
* So sorry for the late update. I just wanted to split this Wedding Day into two different chapters, I hope that you'll be happy to hear that after this one there will be at least another two. The actual wedding and the wedding night! ;-) xoxo

Our Wedding Day
July 27, 2013
Ally's POV
You know I've heard that some brides wake up on their wedding day and are nervous, but that's not me. I wakeup in my king-sized bed and just lay there smiling. Today, I'm marrying my best friend. I hear some noise down in the kitchen, I guess that Kate or Trish must be cooking breakfast. I'll go down in a little while, I'm sure that both Kate and Trish will yell for me when they want me to come downstairs. Austin...I reach over to open the drawer in my nightstand and pull out the sheet music to "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" , and reach for my Ipod so I can sing along to the song that started it all. The song starts to play and it brings me back to the night of the proposal, Austin and I sit down at the piano and start singing to each other. Austin. He's the only thing I can think of as thing song is playing, and while listening to it, I hear Austin's sexy husky voice singing the lyrics. God, I love him. I love him more than I love myself, if you ask me that must be the unconditional world series kind of love that everyone tells us we have. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Austin is my soulmate. I was positive of that even before Ethan decided to show up out of nowhere professing his undying love for me. Which, by the way was completely bizarre. Honestly, what the hell was he thinking? Anyways, Ethan showing up was definitely a surprise and a week before mine and Austin's wedding? I mean.. Wow, just wow! The nerve! I guess I should be grateful that he didn't come to the actual wedding and stop the officiant as we're about to say I do right? I mean, I know that mine and Austin's love story is cliche, but really if it was anything like the Taylor Swift's song, Speak Now, God, help us! I could just picture it now, Austin in his tux and running down the aisle in the sand to knock Ethan out and I wouldn't even be able to stop him. Thankfully, Austin and I sent Ethan packing and told him to get the hell out of our lives. Now, don't get me wrong I do feel bad for Ethan, but I know that my heart won't ever be his as long as Austin's breathing. Even then, Ethan will never be able to love me the way that Austin does, and the way that I love Austin back fiercely.
The song finishes playing when I hear a knock on my master bedroom door and I hear Trish's voice,
"Ally? Ally, get out of bed. Kate made us breakfast. She knows that you missed being away from Austin even just for the night so -" I cut her off,
"Let me guess pancakes?" I smile coyly.
"Mmmmmhmmm" Trish smiled brightly with a hint of sarcasm and I can just hear the duh tone in her voice. Trish takes the opportunity to jump onto the bed, and make herself comfortable. "But first..." She grabs my hands as she stand on top of my bed and pulls me up with her,
" MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I'M HONESTLY REALLY SO HAPPY FOR YOU ALLY! I'm so happy that you're marrying Austin, not that tool Ethan!"
" Oh Trish! Trust me, I understand. I still can't believe that after all that time Ethan came as he put it home to me. I believed him Trish, but it was just too little too late. Honestly, when I heard Austin's voice my heart stopped. I thought he would take it as me cheating on him or something absolutely insane, but I was wrong. He was so sure of our love that after eavesdropping and hearing what Ethan had said, he totally lost it and punched him. I honestly couldn't blame him though. You know what I realized Trish? I realized that Austin has always been the only man that I've ever wanted to truly be with. I may have loved Ethan at some point, but that was a long time ago. I don't love him that way, stopped the moment that I fell in love with Austin. Austin's the only man I could ever love with all of my heart."
Trish just smiles as tears are welling up in her eyes, "I know Ally. Its always been you and Austin against the world. Nothing's ever going to stop you guys. I know in my heart, you guys truly are forever."
We share a hug, and hear Kate calling for us. I throw on my white satin Bride robe, and Trish runs to get her red Maid of Honor one from one of the guest bedrooms. We yell down to Kate,
"We're coming Kate! Be down in a second!"
As soon as we get to the bottom of the stairs Kate comes bolting out of the kitchen,
"ALLY! Omg Ally! You're geting married today! We've been dreaming about this day since we were little girls and it's finally here! I'm so excited, okay so as a bridesmaid, and Trish as your Maid of Honor...Our job is to make sure that you eat. So, let's go into the kitchen so your pancakes don't get cold." She picks me up and spins me around and we just laugh. She puts me down and then we walk into the kitchen and sit down at the table and start talking about everything we have to do in so little time. It's already 9:30 a.m. and Trish needs to start my hair around 11:30 a.m.
I wonder if Austin's awake yet, he stayed at Dez & Trish's last night. So, our wedding might not be totally traditional but we stuck with the not sleeping in the same bed the night before.
Austin's POV
I wakeup as the sunlight pours through the guest bedrooms' windows in Dez & Trish's house. I hear Dez down in the kitchen and knowing my Best Man he's cooking. Please let it be pancakes. You know how there are cases when the groom gets cold feet, well that's not the case here. I'm cool as a cucumber. Well, even more so since Ally and I sent Ethan on a one-way trip to Timbuktu. I seriously wanted to kill that guy. First, he breaks her heart and waits what five years or more to come and get her back. Did he seriously think I was going to just hand over the love of my life to him? I will admit, at first, when I heard Ally talking to a guy I didn't recognize the voice and then I walked up the stairs and heard her say Ethan's name and my heart stopped. If there was anyone that could fuck this entire wedding up it was Ethan. I know that Ally loved him, and that yes, at one time, they had a stronger connection than she and I did, which trust me I know it's hard to believe.
I couldn't believe that this class A prick had the audacity to come back home to Ally as he put it. As I listened in on their conversation and I heard the pleading tone in his voice, I thought to myself,
FUCK he really does love her and he's in love with her too, my Ally, Ethan is trying to steal away my Ally.
I listened for a few minutes longer and stormed into the practice room, we started arguing and then I heard him say , "I kissed her Austin. I told Ally that I'm in love with her and I want a future with her. She should be marrying me, not you! You don't deserve her, you are just a playboy!" Seriously, this guy is just such a massive tool. I'm the guy that has been the constant in her life and not him. I had had enough, and this son of a bitch deserved to get slugged in the face. So, I hit him really hard I might add, all these years later and I'm still pissed at him breaking my Ally's heart. Honestly, even though Ally was heartbroken by Ethan, you see, I realized that there was a silver lining..us. We may have had feelings for each other before Ethan, but now that Ethan was out of the picture.. I was Ally's shoulder to cry on, I always told heryou can come to me, she did. Truthfully, I am almost positive that I was always in love with her even from the first day that we met. She's just that special. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when Dez tells me he's making breakfast, and the door bell rings, so I have to go get it. I run down the stairs, open the door to see Will. Will stands at 6'2 with blonde hair, green eyes, tan skin, and an athletic and toned build to him. He is holding his tux in his hand, brings me in for a hug.
"Bro! You're getting MARRIED today! How awesome do you feel right now?" Will says ethusiastically, it's honestly so great to see him. My cousin Will, is actually like the big brother I've always wanted and has treated me like his little brother for as long as I can remember. Will and Ally hit it off again great last night during the rehearsal and dinner, really started bonding since we're going to all be family in just a few hours. His children, Casey & Emma are going to be in our wedding and I can't wait to see them all dressed up later. I don't have siblings of my own, so Casey & Emma call me Uncle Austin.
"Really excited bro! I still can't believe I get to marry Ally today and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us." I send Will one of my million dollar smiles.
"I'm happy for you, because after all of that shit went down with Ethan. You must have been freaking out and wondering if there was a reason that your relationship was being tested with Ally once again." Will says empathetically.
Austin proudly explains, "Yeah, that asshole definitely deserved the beating I gave him. And as much as I hate to admit this, if the roles were reversed and he was the one marrying Ally I can't say that I wouldn't have done the same thing. If I was nervous..it was only for the split second because he was ready to give her all or nothing. I mean he flat out told her to marry him instead of me. That was ballsy, so while I hate the guy, I kinda feel bad for him, but not enough to ever give him Ally willingly and without a fight."
Will responds back, "Any man that waits five or more years to come home to the woman that they're in love with, no matter the circumstance, that's insane. If he was meant to be with her he would've come home to her sooner, not only that but she would've went back to him. That didn't happen bro, so you're the one, from what you've told me its always been you and Ally. I don't blame you for knocking some sense into Ethan, I would've killed someone if they tried to take Jess away from me or my children, there's no way I'd ever give them up without a fight. You handled yourself relatively well, I'm proud of you."
Just then we hear Dez yell from the kitchen,
"HEY GUYS! COME IN HERE BEFORE I EAT ALL OF THE PANCAKES I'VE MADE FOR ALL OF US!"
Will and Austin share the same passion for pancakes, it must be a Moon gene. They run into the kitchen, find Dez smirking and shaking his head.
"I think it's funny how you're in your mid-to-late twenties and both of you come running in like children when you hear the word pancakes."
Austin, Will and Dez sit down at the wooden kitchen table. On the table there's pancakes, syrup, cofee, bacon, silverware, plates, napkins, etc. Austin starts to inhale his pancakes when he notices something while cutting into his pancakes,
"Dez! You made me chocolate chip pancakes?"
"Yeah Man, I know that they are your favorite!"
Will glances up as he cuts into his stack of pancakes, "Dez! You put blueberries in mine? Yes!"
"Sure did Will, Austin told me that you love blueberries in your pancakes. I went to the grocery store with Trish yesterday to go get them."
"Well, now I see why you're the Best Man." Will smiles genuinely at Dez truly grateful for his hospitality.
Dez interrupts, "Hey what were you guys talking about in the foyer before you came into the kitchen?"
Austin & Will look at each other grunting and clenching their teeth and respond, "Ethan."
Dez also grinds his teach when responding in regards to Ethan, "Oh, well Austin. I still can't believe that he showed up a week before yours and Ally's wedding. What a douche move! Did he really think he was going to win her back? Did he think that he has a snowball's chance in hell when you've always been the one to/for Ally. I'm glad you sent that prick packing. Now, let's finish eating because we have other stuff we need to get done before we have to head over to the venue to get you MARRIED!" and that put an end to that conversation. The three men continued to eat their breakfast and talk about what needed to get done next.
ALLY'S POV
Trish, Kate, and I just finished breakfast and are currently enjoying the Mimosa's Kate made us all as a special treat. She really rocks! Kate's going to hop in the shower really quick, so we plugged in the curling iron and wait for it to heat up. Kate knows that we're on a strict schedule today and thankfully she won't be in the shower too long, but she has a good twenty minutes or so to do so. In the meantime, Trish and I walk into the master bedroom where my wedding dress is hanging and we walk in to my walk-in closet to grab Kate and Trish's bridesmaid dresses, shoes, clutches, my veil, my shoes, my clutch etc. We take my wedding dress and lay it flat on the bed still in the pristine looking dress bag that says Belle's Bridal Boutique on it. Before we know it, Kate's out of the shower and it's already 11:30 in the morning.
She yells from the master bathroom in mine and Austin's bedroom,
"Girls! I'm out of the shower. Let me just throw on my bridesmaid robe that you bought for us Ally and I'll be out in a sec." and it took Kate less then a minute to walk out of my bathroom and into the bedroom where Trish and I are just laying everything out that we need for the day. I have the list of everything we need and the agenda on my dresser.
"Okay Kate! Well, while Trish is doing my hair. I need you to look at the stuff on our lists and make sure that we have everything that we need. Once the limo gets here and we leave there's no time to come back for anything forgotten."
"Not a problem Al! I'm more than happy to look at the list. I'll check off what you and Trish have laid out so far as well." Kate goes to grab the lists off the table, the first is everything that is needed, the other is the agenda which is extremely detailed.

Meanwhile, Trish has already started curling Ally's hair. After trying three different hairstyles a few weeks earlier they decided on the perfect one. Ally's hair is going to be curled tightly, and once curled will be pinned up on her right side so it's not in her face, it will be adorned with the crystal butterfly clip that Trish gave to her as a gift. Even with Trish taking her time, it only took her fourty-five minutes to curl her hair, and it looked absolutely stunning. Since Trish finished earlier than expected, her hair is naturally already curly, so she can start pinning her hair up in the style she's chosen for Ally's wedding. Trish uses the bobby pins Ally has on the counter to pin her hair up putting a red flower in her hair, while Kate curls her hair, do the same as well only in the other bathroom. Kate finishes her hair when the doorbell rings, she opens the door and the florist comes in with our bouquets and corsages, Kate's just wearing a sun dress and she calls out to Trish and I,
"Girls! I'm going to run the corsages for Austin, Dez, Will, Mike, Lester, Penny & Mimi over to Trish's house now. I'll be back before the photographer gets here. I promise." Kate tries to say calm and collected.
"Alright Kate, please be careful. We'll see you in a little bit." Kate gets into her silver car, and takes the short trip to Trish and Dez's house, pulls into the driveway, parks, runs out as fast as possible and rings the doorbell.
...
Scene Change
Will answers the door and greets Kate with a smile, she walks into the living room where the guys are just hanging out right now since they don't really need to be dressed for another half hour or so, because the second photographer will show up for them around 2:00 p.m.
Austin inquires towards her, "Hey Kate. Did you make sure that there are enough pins for all of our boutonierres's before you ran out of the house?"
Kate responds sounding stressed, "Fuck! No, I didn't. Oh my God, I'm sorry. Let's just check now and pray that there is enough."
"Wow, today must be your lucky day Austin because there's just enough for everyone. Okay, so I can't stay long, but let me just show you whose is whose in case they forgot to label them or something. Alright, so Austin, your boutonierre is the red rose with starfish attached to it. Dez, yours and Wills are these yellow roses here, wrapped in red ribbon, the white rose is for Mike, his has the yellow ribbon since that's your favorite color, and Lester's is also white, but with a red ribbon. Alright, so Casey's boutonierre is this orange rose. Finally, Penny & Mimi have wrist corsages and match the color of their dresses, Penny's is lavendar and Mimi's is baby blue. Also, the rose petals for Emma are in a container, Will I trust that you'll call Jess and make sure that she has the white basket we gave her to use right?" Will nods his head in response to Kate's question.
The guys just take in everything that Kate's saying, luckily they were paying attention so there wasn't any confusion when they had to give everyone else their things. Austin interrupts,
"Kate? How's Ally doing? Is she nervous? I just can't wait to see her!" Kate smiles at him encouragingly so he'll stop worrying for no reason,
"Listen, I know that you're probably still on edge on he-who-shall-not-be-named, but trust me he won't show up again. Austin...Ally loves you more than you could ever dream to be possible. She's had a mimosa, she's calm, cool and collected and I have everything under control. Oh, before I go. She says that she loves you Superstar!" Kate hugs Austin, Will and Dez get up to hug her goodbye. Kate walks out of the front door and sprints to her car in the driveway.
Scene Change
Kate pulls up to Austin & Ally's large gate to their mansion, buzzes herself in and parks in the driveway. She gets our of the car again, and sprints to the door. It's 1:30p.m. and Trish needs to do Kate's makeup and then her own as well. Kate looking like well a double of Blake Lively has tanned & perfect skin, she only needs minimal foundation, coral blush, pink lipstick and eye makeup. Trish decided to do neutral gold/brown colors but smokey purple in the corners to make her eyes pop a little more. Kate sat down at the vanity in Ally's master bathroom and before she knew it Trish had completed her look. Trish didn't need to rush to do her makeup, she still had quite a bit of time before she needed to get changed into her Maid of Honor dress. Trish once applied her foundation first, then did a gray smokey eye on herself, put on her mascara and eye liner, and put on a light pink lip gloss. Once Trish finishes she and Kate put on their bridesmaid dresses and helped in zipping each other up and put on their matching red satin heels. They only had five minutes to put on their dresses, while they were doing that told Ally to put her corset, and bride undergarments on because they were going to help her into her wedding dress soon. Ally nods her head in response, and her phone ringtone Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now specialized just for Austin goes off and it reads,
Message from Superstar:
1:48p.m.
I'm counting the minutes until we say I do. Which is t minus 2 hrs and 30 minutes. I can't wait to see you. I love you, Stardoll! xoxo
...
Message to Superstar:
1:49p.m.
I'm so excited to say I do. I can't wait to see you and I love you too. I need to go put on my wedding dress, Kate and Trish are calling for me now. See you soon! xoxo
Ally finishes sending the text to Austin just as she hears Trish and Kate telling her that they are ready, and that they have to hurry because the photographer will be here in ten minutes. Or so they thought. Just then the doorbell rings,Trish runs to answer it and in comes the wedding photographer Max, a tall man with brown hair and brown eyes in a suit. Max is early, but none of the girls mind at all.
"Hello Ally! I know I'm early and I hope that's not a problem. Alright, so let's go over what are some of the absolute must pictures that you want for the "getting ready" portion of the wedding day. Alright, first I'm going to take a few pics of your wedding dress before you put it on. Then, I'm going to need your engagement ring, bouquet and wedding invitation for another. Once you're in your dress we'll take the glamour bridal portrait shots."
"Hi Max, it's so nice to see you again! I'm thrilled that you're early and all of this sounds good to me. Since you're a more creative and artsy wedding photographer, let's just roll with it and go with what you think with photograph beautifully as well."
Max takes Ally's dress, hangs it on the beautiful ceiling fan in the master bedroom above the bed that says, "Mrs. Moon 7.27.13" takes a few pictures of it alone, the bodice, the entire dress, the detailed beaded flower that'll be on her waist.
Max calls Ally into her bedroom from the bathroom and directs her to go stand and look at her wedding dress. Ally walks over to her bed, admires the dresses truly aesthetic beauty and she knows without a shadow of a doubt that she's chosen the right dress for her. Snap. Max got a picture of it. He takes another of Ally looking up at her wedding dress, admiring it and touching the beautiful fabric that feels so light. Her dress is white organza strapless high-low ballgown, with a dropped waistline and a flower beaded embellishment on her left side. Ally calls out to Kate and Trish to wash their hands from any makeup and to come out and help her step into her wedding dress, while Max steps out of the room for a moment. Ally looks up at two of her favorite women in the entire world lovingly tears threatening to fall,
"This is it. We're putting on my wedding dress right now. I- I can't believe that this day is finally here. You are both so beyond special to me. Thank you, thank you for everything."
Trish gives her a truly genuine smile while Kate beams at Ally with a heartfelt one as well, "Ally, we love you. Let's think happy thoughts before we ruin all of our makeup that we just put on. "
Once the wedding dress is dropped over Ally's head and she's holding up the bodice with both of her hands, she signals Kate to tell Max to come back in. He takes a few pictures of Kate zipping Ally's dress up and Trish putting on Ally's satin red garter, with lace at the bottom and a music note pin in the center of it. Another of me putting my satin white tall stillettos with crystals down the heels and a flower at the base of the heel and stapping them on securely. Then, Trish putting on my sheer veil with crystal beading all down the sides, goes to about my elbow. Max has me pose in my wedding dress, propping my elbow on our bed takes a few pics, then he takes the close up pics as well. He takes multiple pictures of the girls and I, some specific one's Ally's asked for: Kate, Trish and I hugging in a circle, Trish and I with our foreheads together, in the background you see us in the mirror creating this awesome dimension that I can't even explain, along with Kate and I back to back standing up back to back, finally since there's three of us, the Charlie's Angels pose with me in the middle, Trish on the left and Kate on the right. Max then has me go over to the mirror to put on my bridal jewelry, he takes pics of me putting in my crystal drop chandelier earrings, Kate putting on my diamond heart necklace with the diamond note in the center and Trish putting on the bracelet that Austin gave me for Christmas when we were seventeen. While we're in the master bedroom still I walk over to the dresser, that has Kate and Trish's bridesmaid gifts in it. The girls open their personalized cards that I've written out for them and their boxes and see their blinged out starfish earrings, white gold open heart pendants, along with a crystal beaded bracelet. Max snaps pictures of them and captures the tears obviously in their eyes while they put on their jewelry. I'm so lucky. We take many more pics, walk downstairs to the room with stunning french doors, when the limo driver pulls up to the gate and we buzz him in. Max takes the silhouette pictures of me in my dress in front of these doors while looking at my bridal bouquet. My bouquet is red, yellow and orange roses, white touches of white stephanotis in the center, some roses are adorned with pearls. The girls come stand next to me to snap a few more holding their bouquets yellow and red roses, green button mums, orange gerber daisies. They're both very similar and almost exact except that Trish's has crystals adorned in her bouquet. I have Trish run upstairs to grab my bridal clutch, put the wedding vows for Austin in it, my cell phone competely charged, and my lipstick as well. Trish comes back down the staircase a few minutes later, we're ready to get in the limo. We walk out the door with Max, and walk over to the pristine Bentley limo where our husky, well groomed limo driver opens the doors for us to get in. Before we get in he tells us that he just dropped Austin, Dez and Will off at the venue before he came over to pick us up. Once we're in the limo we take the short trip to the beach where our ceremony is going to place, dancing in our seats and extremely excited that the second we get out of this limo.
Ally's final thoughts while on her way to Austin,
I'm marrying my best friend. I wonder if Dez made a bet with Austin and Will that I'll be a "crier". If they did place a bet well.. we'll see what happens.
A/N: Review please. I can't believe this chapter alone is over 5K words and I hope that it was well worth the wait.
